> let them get used to using it every day for 18 months, then pressure the EU to let it continue or you rip the feature away and anger users (who you then point to the EU as the problem)

And you’re saying that consumers would be incorrect in thinking that?

What ecosystem is it endangering? Is using the land a problem? Utah has 10.5 million acres of farmland that I would think has some impact on the ecosystem too, should we stop doing that too?

Why not find out and let us know? You’re implying an answer without knowing what it is

The article doesn’t say when this collection happens but there is some part of the game the involves photographing specific landmarks which does involve pressing a shutter. I’m guessing that’s where this comes from but would be great to hear from a better source.

Not trying to be contrarian here, but I don’t get the problem. What’s wrong with Palantir producing weapons or military intelligence? How is it different from making guns?

Is the problem what those things are used for, or is it the way Palantir does it?

Is there a link to a primary source with more details? I skimmed the video and see some quotes but couldn’t find the policy that they come from

I think comments on pretty much everything skew negative. There’s not much to say if you support the fine.

Yes, but people who lie are also at fault

A large majority of SF residents support upzoning: https://growsf.org/pulse/growsf-pulse-october-2024/#allowing...

I’m normally skeptical of claims like this, but looking at the examples it seems that Sora is reproducing some of its training data verbatim. I guess it’s a case of overfitting? In particular the Civ example seems like it must have been copied almost verbatim.

I agree with the sentiment but I want to point out that a car is not essential for most people living in SF, although many people outside the city think this. Around 35% of households don’t have a car: https://www.sfmta.com/sites/default/files/reports-and-docume...

Why the scare quotes? What else is supposed to be done when every other remedy is either illegal or too expensive!

Honestly I do wonder the same thing.

Everything you listed is liquid. CDs can be withdrawn early for a small penalty, and most likely without even losing any of your principal.

Sure, I couldn’t find a better data source than that. If you find a better source that includes liquid assets specifically that would be helpful. I am skeptical that of the 39k in assets listed there, there isn’t a substantial amount that can be used to pay the bills (i.e. who has $39k in their 401k but $0 anywhere else?).

Yes, in 2020 Grindr was forced to sell for similar reasons.

The median American also owns $39,000 in liquid financial assets.
